BAA Boys Basketball Program Overview:
The season runs for Boys Basketball from January to March. There are typically Player & Coaches Clinic, pre-season practices, an exhibition game, 8-12 regular-season games with 2 – 3 additional practices, depending on the grade level. There are no Wednesday activities. The program concludes with an end-of-season tournament in mid-March
Volunteers:
For our basketball program, volunteers are needed as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and more. Check-in at sign-ups or register as a volunteer online today!
COACHING: As always we are completely dependent on you as parents to help make this sport the best it can be by volunteering your time as a head coach, assistant coach, scorekeeper, or umpire. What better way to be involved with your children than to be a part of their team during the season? Without you, we cannot run this program!
BAA Tournaments and Playoffs:
BAA Playoffs and Tournaments are played for grades 2 – 12 with an opportunity to celebrate how the players and team made progress since the beginning of the season along with having some healthy competition. Parents/Guardians will be notified in advance on schedule, final playoff week information.
